Outdoor Living in Gilbert
Gilbert backyards get used. Kids, dogs, swim parties, grilling weekends. We engineer for that — drainage on patios that takes monsoon and pool overflow, turf rated for dog traffic with proper base, kitchens with real venting and protected electrical, shade that stands up to gust events.
Gilbert is family-driven outdoor living — turf, pavers, kitchens, pools, and shade engineered to take real use.
What Gilbert actually requires
Whether a Gilbert property is subject to private design review, and what a submittal must contain, depends on that community's current governing documents. The owner confirms the current requirements directly with the association before design is finalized.
Private HOA/CC&R and ARC requirements vary by property and current governing documents, and private review is separate from municipal permitting. The owner confirms them directly with the association. AE prepares submittal materials only where that work is currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope; the association decides approval and controls its own timing.
Town of Gilbert Development Services handles permits and pool-barrier inspections, applying ARS §36-1681 within its scope alongside adopted local rules. AE performs only the work currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope; the customer confirms the current requirements for the property with the authority having jurisdiction and any HOA/ARC or insurer, and no permit, inspection, HOA, or code acceptance is guaranteed.
Outdoor living scopes delivered in Gilbert
The full outdoor living scope, tuned for Gilbert lots
Most Gilbert projects combine several scopes under one AE crew. Start with a custom pool build wrapped in pavers and travertine hardscape (see why we don't use quarter minus under pavers for the base spec we hold to), add an outdoor kitchen or pergola, finish with desert-smart landscape, artificial turf, landscape lighting, and misting systems for shoulder-season use. Investment ranges live in the pricing guide, and the projects library shows finished work across the Valley — including neighborhoods around Gilbert.

Community work is foundational, not an add-on
We didn't build a company that gives back. We built a company on giving back. Across the Valley — including Gilbert — that shows up in Shop With a Cop, our Day of Giving, backpack drives, donated backyards, and the Purposeful Giving Alliance.
